County Councillor visit

Lizzi Collinge, County Councillor, visited KS2 classes and explained about the work on the County Council and generally about our democratic political system.  The children in both Beech Class and Sycamore Class were invited to come up with their own ideas for laws. They suggested laws about: dropping litter, taxes, limiting how much wealth someone can have, limiting people to owning one house, reducing the price of food, looking after the environment, making all food free, allowing people to vote from 16, having more control over genetic modification, etc.  

We also debated some of our ideas within our classes. We looked at photographs of the County Council chambers and learned about the process of running the council and what sorts of things councillors deal with. We asked lots of good questions about her role and what inspired her to be a councillor too.

Elf Run- Sycamore

All the classes have taken part in an Elf Run today for St John’s Hospice. Thank you to everyone for their donations! Here are a few photos from Sycamore’s Elf Run.

Manchester Museum

Sycamore Class visited Manchester Museum as part of their work on the Ancient Egyptians.  We spent time exploring the different exhibits, making notes and sketching our favourite parts.  A highlight was the ‘Golden Mummies’ exhibition, which contains thousands of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, including a number of sarcophagus’ from Ancient Egypt!  We had a great day!

Egyptian Self Portraits and Canopic Jars

Sycamore Class designed and created Egyptian Self-Portraits and Canopic Jars. They used different sculpting techniques for their jars. They used the coil technique for the base and adapted a thumb pot for the head.

Imagining History

Sycamore Class enjoyed a fantastic workshop with Imagining History, focusing on Ancient Egypt! We created an interactive timeline, helping us learn more about Egyptian civilisation and how it changed over time.  We also learned about the Pharaohs of Egypt and even thought about how Tutankhamun might have died!
